Angel Express

The Primary 1 and 2 Nativity this year was called Angel Express.  The children enjoyed learning the songs and learning their parts.

When asked what the children liked about being in the nativity this is what some of them said –

-I liked having a speaking part, I learnt how to be an actor.

-I liked being on the big stage and having an audience.

-I learnt about the story of baby Jesus.

Here are the evaluations from the nativity Angel Express from some of the Primary 1 and 2 pupils –

Pupil Evaluation

P1/2 J and P6G French Afternoon

We were matching French number words with the correct numeral to 20.

We were reading the French word for different parts of the body and matching it to the correct picture.

We worked with the P6 children from Mrs Galloway’s class to match numbers to 100.

We played a French weather dominoes game.

We tried to speak in French and we had lots of fun.

P1/2J Learning about Fire

We learned about ‘Stop, Drop and Roll’ .

We learned about the things that we need to make a fire.

Then we put the things in the pot we needed to make the fire.

We waited until the flames died down before we toasted our marshmallows.  We had soaked the skewers in water so that they would not burn.

After we had finished we put the fire out.  We were pleased to see that we had made lots of charcoal that we can use to draw with.

Planter Harvest

Yesterday P1/2J harvested lots of vegetables from the school planters. There was a great crop of brussel sprouts, onions, spinach and chard. Parents are coming in later today to see what the class have harvested. The children told me:

“I got to pull a vegetable out”
“I had fun”
“I like the potatoes”
“I had fun with my friend”
“I felt joyful”

Mrs Hosking asked the children if they had been to the shop to buy the vegetables as they looked so good.

P1/2J Learning Lab

Today we picked some kale and some onions from the planters on the field.

We then made pesto in the learning lab.

We learned how to chop onions, how to peel garlic and grate parmesan.  We also learned how to cook pasta.

We worked together in small groups to mix the pesto with the pasta and divide it fairly.

Everyone helped tidy up and we loved cooking.

P1/2 J Outdoor Learning

We worked together as a team to make a shelter that would protect us from rain.

In class we have been learning about 2D shapes and we decided to try to make some out of sticks.

We had lots of fun and we asked each other about the dens and the shapes we had made.

Next we need to work on our tying skills!
